CJB:

I did check the belt.  I installed a new one last night because it
looked a little looser than it should.  Very easy repair compared to
replacing the pump.  I also replaced that last night.  I used a little
different technique than the repair manual had.  They had me removing
the entire mounting bracket which the power steering pump and the A/C
compressor is attached to.  I just removed the radiator and fan cowling
to give me room for the puller.  I borrowed a pulley puller from
Advanced.  Either they really skimped on their setup, or the pulley was
really on there.  I ran out of time last night so tonight I will be
pressing the pulley back onto the new pump.  Hopefully, my steering
symptoms weren't telling me the gear box went out.

I'm a little fuzzy on priming the pump.  I let fluid soak in and then
manually turned the pulley until it started pressurizing.  Then I was
told (other newsgroup topic) to move the wheel from stop to stop a few
times.
